For maintaining my razors, I've been sticking with a triple 5 routine:

5 shaves on a razor gets
5 strokes on my barber's hone followed by
5 laps on a CrOx sprayed strop made from an old cotton belt to make the edge not so harsh


Also, for fresh honing, I can only hone up to the 8k level, as far as known grit ratings. I've been finishing on my barber's hone (5 strokes) and then stropping on my CrOx strop (5 laps) to smooth out the edge. It's been working out quite well, and has been fairly close in feel to a razor I had Glen hone as a benchmark (though my honing skills are nowhere close to his).
